This list is comprised of general ailments, there are exceptions to some of these depending on state. For example, any illnesses deemed treatable by cannabis in Oklahoma demands the patient be under 18 years of age to qualify. In South Carolina and Tennessee, only those qualifying for the state-run clinical trial/research study may use cannabis to treat their epilepsy/seizures.

States that allow cannabis use for pain usually demand other treatments be tried first before turning to cannabis, or that the pain be chronic/debilitating. States that have legalized recreational cannabis still have a medical cannabis market, though for the most part, it will be absorbed by the rec market.
